I haven’t been following for a while, but last I checked there were a number of Japanese women’s wrestlers that are signed with AEW. Riho was the first AEW Women’s World Champion, and Hikaru Shida held the title for the longest so far. They both started their careers with the Ice Ribbon women’s promotion in Japan.

Edit: I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen Riho pull this exact move. She’s light enough that she can fully commit without causing injury. Absolutely brutal to watch, legit knocks the wind out of people.
